Nice to see some intelligent replies for once.
I'm afraid i'm going to stick with the majority of what I said. As for emmer, it is not being biased. The initial question in this post was which 3 man combination I felt was best, and obviously, I have to justify my decision. It's as simple as that, you may not agree(and that's fine) but If I'm to say something I must justify my reasons.
Now as for the "ignorance" comments, I am by no means saying that Portugal has no youth talent coming up the ranks. What should've been said is that I feel they are unlikely to produce the same amount of world class players as their golden generation did. The exact opposite can happen and in 10 years Portugal could win the world cup and I'll eat my words.
But for the moment, I am not yet convinced of quality. Argentina is currently going through the a difficult situation, our talent pool is drying up and the sub 20 level is no longer what it was 3 years ago. So to a certain extent we are in a similar situation when you look at things long term.
As for Pablo Aimar, i'll stand by my statement (as unrealistic as it seems to some of you) he proved himself at the World cup, even with a crap performance from the rest of the team he, in my eyes, established himself at a level with the world's elite.
I respect both shinji's and Infesta's comments, as for K3nzo and emmer, one line replies don't cut it, state your reasoning and your opinion. Maybe then I can look at what you say with a little more respect.
